to be honest I'm not a linux user but I was searching for a European z-wave thermostat and found your post, on another forum a user has actually bought the device but it won't communicate with the z-wave controller, it can only be controlled through the factory supplied unit.

do you know of any other alternatives ? or other methods , I heard that I can get a wifi based thermostat and still be able to control it from a controller that supports z-wave & wifi ? is this possible ? if I bought the hortsmann one do you think its possible to be able to control it ?

Now can somebody sent me to the right direction of trying to get this +/- thing worked out and also to show Fahrenheit in lmce, i can read Celcius but the rest of the USA.......... 8-) it's showing 21 while it should be showing 70

I looked at the code for the plugin and would like to try some stuff, but just wanted to know if somebody else is working on this at the moment.

Hari has done all of the work so far, i think the rest of us either don't know how to finish it up or don't have the time. Hop on the developer channel in IRC and Hari ask some questions, or wait till Hari responds in this thread.-Krys

I have this thermostat installed with LinuxMCE 810. It works fine with scenarios that I created and I use it in C. The only problem is that on the Orbiters the setpoint temperature stays at 255. Everything else is fine. So for example here's how it looks:ON/AUTO/AUTO/255 (21.0)

On the thermostat itself the setpoint is correct (i.e. as set by the scenario). So I think it's a problem with how the value is displayed or stored internally.

I received one for Christmas and just installed it today. The MCV dongle binding occurred without issue, LMCE picked it up as a climate control component. I understand that the functionality is not yet present in MCE to allow for Farenheit, though for everyone in the household i'm leaving it in farenheit mode.

I am seeing the same item as stefan is in terms of:ON/AUTO/AUTO/255 (23.0)
